A Severe storm.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. PA
storm of great intensity set in at day
light yesterday. The wind blew forty
five miles an hour all day, while a
binding snow storm ragged. The cap
tain and crew of the schooner George
Sherman report the Sherman a total
wreck on Short Point, about ten miles
from Marquette. The AIva Bradley
struck at about the same place little
before the Sherman and Captain Gift
ford thinks her crew escaped. The
Sherman left the Sault at a. M. Sat
urday and was struck by the storm
this side of White Fish Point and was
driven hard on rocky beach. The
crew took in the boat. They struck the
beach at $3.50 p. m. and kept wandering
around in the woods until six O'Clock
in ~ 1OIiTldinrs n lDoncf hna6 from
exhaustion, when they reached the
railroad track and came to Marquette.
The Alva Bradley went ashore before
the Sherman. He thinks the crew got
off as it was only few rods to the
shore. 1t is believed the crew of the
bradley are now roaming around in the
woods IN the terrible storm, and the
city marshal, with gang of fifteen
men, have gone to find them. The
Lawrence is also probably wrecked, as
she passed Sault yesterday for the Por-
tage entry.
LATER.
MARQUETTE, Mich, OCT. N.-The
barge Plymouth is ashore on the north
west corner of Marquette Isle, above
Marquette. Her crew is still on board

the high cliffs. A heavy sea prevents
rescuers from getting near the wreck,
but it is thought tug will take them
off as soon as the sea moderates lit
tie. The Plymouth will prove total
wreck.
The crew of the Alva Bradley,
ashore on Shot Point, cannot reach
shore owing to the loss of their small
boats. 1t is thought the vessel will
hold together long enough to enable
the life saving crew to rescue the crew.
